Hey guys,

Chasing an old sidehack frame. After Roberto's my girls just wanted to go riding. My eldest has epilepsy and really struggles with her balance on the bike, training wheels on a 12 yo bike isn't a cool look so I thought I would build her a sidehack or trike using a mid school torker frame I have got.

Cheers,

Build her a trike mate, she will love it!  Made my daughter a couple of trikes over time as she has the same issue effecting her balance.
Made the trike pictured from one old 20 inch bike, a couple of 16 inchers and the kids had a blast one it, then made another for my daughter with tuffs on it,  its not getting used atm due to weather but we'll put some new tyres on it for summer.  All the other kids will be lining up for a go.
cheers

Tim,

Good suggestion - did you make it up as you went or did you get a design from somewhere?

Have made a few Picker I can send you some links if you want there are some quite easy to make designs if you  have a local exhaust shop and can weld a bit its not hard at all.  Made one off a plan made the red on pictured before up as I went after making a couple of others.
The one with 16 inch wheels and purple rear I made up as I went.
The one on car roof was from a plan it got stolen had a shimano 3 spoeed coaster on rear.
There are plenty of plans available, my daughter likes hers now and then to ride, the latest has 16 inch tuffs on from and a 20 inch tuff modified into a six speed derailer gear on rear, still needs painting but it goes, it had v-brakes on the front. I dont have a picture of it though. Let me know if i can help. I am trying to post pictures but site isnt liking them.
cheers Tim
